Default Look at the bright side...

... at least this pig isn't proposing another bailout or ugly gun ban.

Tax Dollars at Work


By the way, what does 'gratulate' mean?

"Gradulate" means that this "ignunt foo" is obviously a product of "Fuhmative Akshun", and further evidence that a Diploma from an alleged "Institution of Higher Learning" doesn't mean what it used to. Frankly, if I were the President of the University of Florida I'd rescind her Degree, and fire each and every Professor who gave her a passing grade (that was still employed by the University) for gross incompetence.

Hey, hey, thats my state your talking about! Although, I hate the Gators more than Kim Jong Il hates America. Anyway, why would this be important to our government? Leave it to the Dems to find football an important speaking topic in the House.

Not to suggest that you totally, utterly and completely missed the point, cadet, but you totally, utterly and completely missed the point: This sterling example of second-rate, er, 'secondary' education, this misrepresentative of not only 'the people', but of the sub-standards 'accepted' for a degree at some of our institutes of higher 'learning'.

While I have no knowledge that such is, indeed, the case in this instance, I would wager there is little doubt that 'affirmative discrimination' played a much larger part in any degree she may possess - whether she can actually read it or not - than any 'learning' which may have taken place on her part.

Consider that this ambulatory obscenity appears to the rest of the world as 'representative' of the American public at large, and then ponder on the plaint of such as her that other nations don't 'respect' us.

And that is why I don't post in politics often. I know I will never "see the point" and that my opinions will be shot down immediatley. But thats what I get for having a 'second rate education' right?

You can either attempt to gain a better education or pout about your lack of one; you can base your 'opinions' on demonstrable, verifiable fact or parrot the 'party line' as 'taught' to you - and wind up sounding as illiterate as the fool illustrated. The 'point' is that the choice is yours, and if you have decided

then why bother?

Life can be a 'learning experience' or not - you can 'open your mind' to new information or not, but without the desire and discrimination to verify it against proven fact; without exercising rational judgment - a trait the indoctrination establisment (formerly the 'education' system) has had great success in eliminating - you become another of Lenin's 'useful idiots'. Nobody can force you to learn, or make you want to become 'educated', as opposed to 'indoctrinated', but in the final analysis it's not who will 'admire' you or hold you in contempt, but who your 'role models' are: Would you prefer to be the erudite, educated Michael Steele of your generation, whatever your political persuasion, or the gutter trash of the above clip?

I took this to mean that you were asking why college football is important to Congress. Maybe HE read something else. Perhaps some clarification is in order.

Oh, but search her name, she proposes plenty of other stuff (raise minimum wage, condemn the surge). Makes my state look bad (fortunately she's not my representative, I'd hate for her to be my Congressional sponsor).

Yes, this is what I meant. I try to educate myself outside of the 'education system.' My reason of staying active here on this forum. I don't post much, but I read. I take the information for what its worth, I watch the videos, read the reports, look at the opinions of others and make my own.
